Difference between simulation and real test.

Hi all,

I am a student and I am working on a homework. Shortly, I will summary the hw's requirement. It said some thing like that: At first, when counter goes from 0->7 then led 1 on; when the counter up to 8 then led 2 on, up to 9 then led 3 on. Next, when the counter comes to 10, it depends on a switch, if switch is on, led 4 on, if switch is off led 5 on. And if led 4 on, it still to be on until counter comes to 14 then counter reset to 0 and comes back to first stage which means led 1 on. And similarly, if led 5 on, it still to be on until counter comes to 22 then counter reset to 0 and comes back to first stage which means led 1. The requirement is described by a lots of word but shortly it will be like that after I design FSM for the problem. When I finish my code, test bench runs OK but when I run on Altera DE1 board, it did not run like my expectation. When the counter comes to 8,9,10 it runs nicely but next when led 4 or led 5 on, it immediately comes back to stage 1 (led 1 on). Led 4 should be on for 4 seconds or led 5 should be on for 12 seconds before come back to stage 1. In test bench, it waiting but in the board nothing is waiting.

This is my code, hope you guys help me.

module controller(sw, clk, rst, led, y, Y); //This is top level module
 input sw, clk, rst;
 output  led;
 output reg y=0,Y=0; //y: present state; Y: next state
 parameter  fer=0, ready=1, prepare=2, transfer=3, flush=4; //define finite state machine
 reg  count=0; //counter
 
 frequency_divider C1(clk, clk_out); //divider frequency for DE1 board, I use pin L1 (50Mhz)

            case(y)
